For the 4th year in a row, Zapponians in the Vegas office participated in what has come to be known as Bald, Blue and Beautiful Day. Explain, you ask? That I shall!

Four years ago, while still in the office on Warm Springs, some old timers at Zappos were out having a few beers and the usual madness ensued, which led to a dare concerning a little head-shaving the next day. Let me explain how I assume this most likely came up. Just in case you were not aware, Las Vegas is hot. Sidewalk like a skillet hot. You know that talk you hear about a "dry heat"? Don't listen to that crazy talk. My oven creates a dry heat as well, if you get my drift, yo.

So, let's assume someone was complaining about how it was already 100 degrees in May and how nice a bald head would feel.....take it from there, Mr. Clippers.

Thanks to all who participated!

The week of January 5 through January 10th was a mighty crazy week for the Help Desk Team. While the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) brings thousands of folks to Las Vegas, it also brought a few people through Zappos. During that week the Help Desk had a grand total of 109 shuttle runs and 42 tours!! 38 of those 109 shuttle runs were done in one day.

Right smack dab in the middle of the week was the merch quarterly recognition happy hour and a party hosted by Zappos and Intel... Both of these parties were done on the same night :) It was definitely one of the busiest weeks that I have seen while working here! By the end of the week I think that we were all a little delirious! Thanks to everyone who helped the help desk with all of the tours!

Oh Kelly girl, are friend and commadre, has moved on down the line. Kelly's last day at Zappos.com was on Friday, and she will be missed! Kelly singlehandedly held Creative Services together, booking meetings, hotels, flights, ordered office supplies and everything else you can imagine. We are not sure how we are going to exist without her, but she was very helpful and, without her, holding down calendars and and meetings might get challenging. But she instructed us well!

On her last day, we had quite a celebration in her honor! Four huge 30' pizzas from Napoli's, cupcakes from the CupCakery, flowers and a few drinks at our constant hang out, Claim Jumpers, on Green Valley Parkway.

Kelly has been an amazing help for the entire department, and we wish her the best in the future!
